The Boys is back in a pretty f***ed way. The animated anthology series, The Boys Presents: Diabolical gives us eight one-shot episodes that build on the graphic novel series and the live-action show. These not made for children episodes run about 12 to 15 mins apiece and take us into the lives of new and old superheroes in The Boys universe. Starring Awkwafina, Michael Cera, Don Cheadle, Chace Crawford, Kieran Culkin, Giancarlo Esposito, Eliot Glazer, Jason Isaacs, Kumail Nanjiani, Justin Roiland, Seth Rogen, and Andy Samberg (to name a few), The Boys Presents: Diabolical is full of blood, guts, dark humor, and different animated styles you would expect from this spinoff series. The Boys Presents: Diabolical is streaming now on Prime Video.
The Boys Presents: Diabolical Review
I hate math but what do you get when you add Mortal Kombat, Superheroes, great animation styles, a great cast, and a F***ed up sense of humor together? The answer is easy it is The Boys Presents: Diabolical. These eight violent, shocking, and entertaining shorts take you through the lives of different characters in The Boys universe where Superheroes are marketed and exploited by the corporation Vought International. When you first staring watching these shorts you are like what did I get myself into but as you keep going you can help but want more. The best thing about all of this is that you really don’t need any knowledge of The Boys to follow what’s going on.
The Diabolical Style And Talent
What really makes this series stick up is all the different animated and visual styles. The animation studio Titmouse and supervising director Giancarlo Volpe knocked this out of the park by changing up the animation for each episode. In one episode you have a Looney Tunes feel, then in the next, you have Anime Turds saving the day. Also, on top of this the action never really stops and great animation styles kept you wanting more and more.
Executive Producer Simon Racioppa did an amazing job putting the talent together for The Boys Presents: Diabolical. This series was brought to life by Awkwafina, Michael Cera, Don Cheadle, Chace Crawford, Kieran Culkin, Giancarlo Esposito, Eliot Glazer, Jason Isaacs, Kumail Nanjiani, Justin Roiland, Seth Rogen, Andy Samberg, and so many more. I mean look at this lineup, you can just tell you are going to be in for a hell of a good time. It was as if they told them to go all out and make this the most F***ed up thing anyone has ever seen. And if that was the instructions they were given they not only did that, but they also did it in style.
My Final Thoughts On The Boys Presents: Diabolical
Like I said before, I was not sure what I got into when I started to watch this series. But the more I watched the more I wanted! Now this series is not for everyone. If you are not a fan of blood, guts, poop, and dark humor just walk away. But if you are a fan of all the above; these shorts will keep you laughing your ass off and at the same time asking yourself “What in the F**k did I just see”. From fighting turds to failed attempts at making superheroes The Boys Presents: Diabolical is a must-watch!
